emance chip??

[240freak90]

hey guys i was just wondering if anyone has ever tried this thing out? it seems like it is a good product but im not too sure cuz of the price lol. tell me what you think about it? it says its an actual emance chip and not one of those resistors you plug into your coolant temp sensor.

I run his tune on my 400hp SR and it is perfect

[240freak90]

why do you say that? whats your reasoning? they even included their own website which doesnt look like a knock off to me. i understand it wont be nearly as good as nistune but for cheap and for someone who doesnt have the resources/knowledge for nistune will you see some gians from it?

so would you suggest buying it?

"Q. Will fuel mileage be affected in some way?

A. Yes, but only under hard acceleration conditions (stepping on the gas pedal more than half of its way down). On this condition, gas consumption will increase around 15%, theoretically. Remember only when you mash the gas pedal. to increase HP you need to increase air/fuel."

As far as reliability yes I would, but unless your going boosted it's like any other mod on a NA 4cyl useless

[240freak90]

well i do plan on boosting but unfortunately itll be about another year or so before i have all the parts to do it. thanks guys i guess ill be ordering it to see if it will clear up some hiccups ive been having.

what do you have done to your car to justify this? your going to put in a "chip" to try to fix your car, id probably just get another stock ecu to see if that fixes it, would be cheaper/smarter. plus you cant use an na tune on a boosted car so if you boost later you need another "chip". i have a ka with every bolt on and i run a stock ecu with no 'hiccups".

I had his tune on my ka-t.no good. to lean in idle/cruise too rich in boost.Im rebuilding my KA now.

I went with the AEM fic. it's 350$. I love it

sounds like you had a small leak... the smallest one sets off crazy readings on your wideband.... and as far as adding a chip to try and correct some underlying issue is a bad idea.

I have his tune for my ka-t.. I run a GT35 to 14psi on a daily basis no problem.. I have no complaints.

Years ago my experience's with Jason and Emance were horrible. Went with the buy the whole ecu, not just the board. And it never worked, sent a bunk ecu from some FWD KA and tried to pass it off as an SR ecu. Sent it back to him and he said nothing was wrong, then zero communication from him after that. I even tried putting the board into a SR ecu and still didn't work. But, thats just my experience from almost 3 years ago so maybe he's gotten a little better business ethic since then.

[240freak90]

well yea im not stupid. my ecu is fine, my maf is fine, my tps is fine, everything is fine except for the tune. i just got rid of all my emissions system and rebuilt the engine with slightly ported head, intake and upper plenum, decked head .05, bored .020 over, balanced bottom end, intake and header, and since ive gotten it running it has a slight hesitation at lower rpm's. idk if its timing related or fuel related but its running a tad bit lean and i was gonna see if this quick tune would help.

Seems like this is what happens alot with him. If you get a tune that works, all is good. If you have a problem with it he blows you off and never tried to fix it. Poor service = poor company IMO.

Op i dont think your looking for a fixed tune.with emance it would be difficult for jason to get your set-up accurate.I think you should get a SAFC and a wideband so you can fine-tune your particular set-up.

STAY AWAY!!!

That bastard screwed me on a KA-T tune. It would barely run and wouldn't rev past ~3300 RPM. Never got any word back from him. When I gave the ECU to a shop to rip out the Emance and get NISTUNE installed, they told me there was no way the Emance was ever going to work... dunno what they found, don't care, but it was total BS and a bunch of money down the drain. This was me sending him my ECU and him sending it back chipped btw.

I will sell you mine for $200 shipped. It works and has good afr's in all conditions. It is setup for Z32 maf, 650cc injectors, and also has a set of eproms for E85. The reason I ditched the E85 was because a lack of supply in my area. I made 416whp on my KA. I then sold it for my current 350z VQ swap and a little procharger.

do you have a wideband? or are you just saying its running lean? like i said, my car runs fine with an xcessive intake manifold and every other bolt on available for a ka.

I had to LOL at this. I actually made their website about a year ago. Jason is a pretty good guy, but it seems like when things start to go downhill he stops with customer support.

Basically, if you have a pretty standard setup (pretty common), you should have no problems with his tunes. But if you have a weird/odd setup or trying to push mad horsepower this is probably not the route for you.

no i dont but the plugs are like a creme color. not like the mocha/tan color it should be. and it did not do this before and now it does. having the car sit for a month isnt gonna make stuff not function correctly. im thinking its where i took off all emissions.

dont buy this!
